Someone has finally held Nancy Pelosi accountable in a meaningful way..The Democratic Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives has gotten away with being one of the most vindictive, dishonest, divisive, self-serving politicians in U.S. history..California’s Pelosi, 81, has served in the Congress 35 years and as speaker since 2007. .She says she’s a “devout Catholic.” She’s also a rabid pro-abortion champion, which is clearly in conflict with the Catholic Church and most of its members..She’s entitled to her views. And so is the Catholic Church. .Nancy can’t have it both ways anymore..Pelosi, who has said she’s a “regular communicant” was barred Friday from receiving Holy Communion by the Archbishop of the San Francisco Archdiocese Salvatore Cordileone..He notified Pelosi and instructed the San Francisco diocese priests of his decision to ban her from receiving the Eucharist at Mass until she publicly recants her support for abortion..“After numerous attempts to speak with Speaker Pelosi to help her understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing, and the danger to her own soul she is risking, I have determined that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion,” tweeted Cordileone..The decision was “purely pastoral, not political,” said Cordileone..“Christians have, indeed, always upheld the dignity of human life in every stage, especially the most vulnerable, beginning with life in the womb,” he stated in a letter..“A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others. Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons ‘are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.’” .As distasteful a person that she is, as destructive as the policies she pushes on the American people are — for her sake — Pelosi’s ban is nothing to celebrate or be gleeful about. .Communion isn’t merely a religious observance. It is a sacred fellowship with God, in remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made at the Cross. It’s a serious thing to be denied the Eucharist. .The mother of five has long been hardcore pro-abortion, but only for other women. Why ban her from receiving Holy Communion now?.Only Cordileone knows the answer to that, and he didn’t say..No doubt, the sins of the Catholic Church, and there are many, will be used to distract from Cordileone’s intention — the defense of the unborn..But Pelosi has increasingly flouted the beliefs of the church with her pro-abortion stand..In March she vowed that the Democrats would “never give up” the fight to pass legislation under the Women’s Health Protection Act legalizing abortion through any stage of all nine months of pregnancy..But there are some abortion laws, passed or being debated, that have even rattled and distressed the strongest pro-choice advocates — getting no pushback from the devout Catholic Pelosi..The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is fighting for the unborn “looking at every possible way” to challenge abortions bills..The ACLJ described “one of the most barbaric laws in U.S. history” passed in New York, making it legal to abort a baby up to the moment of birth and “removes legal protections” for babies who survive “botched” abortions and are born alive..In Maryland Senate Bill 669 — the Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act of 2022 — allows mothers to ‘abort’ babies 28 days after they are born. .Babies can be left to starve or freeze to death and a revision of the fetal murder/manslaughter statute would allow no punishment to those involved. It would even allow them to sue police investigating them. .California policymakers with the Future of Abortion Council have proposed amendments to legislation, adding new clauses to AB 2223..Opponents say this legalizes infanticide because it decriminalizes killing newborns even weeks after birth..Meanwhile, devout Catholic Pelosi, praised the “righteous anger” of “anguished” pro-abortion activists who targeted the private homes of six sitting Conservative-appointed Supreme Court justices — despite it being illegal to try to pressure, influence, or threaten members of the high court..Earlier this month, a leaked draft of a majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito indicated possible changes to Roe v. Wade, that stated “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start” in terms of its legal stand..Pelosi, and others, have been grossly misleading, and fanned anger that’s bound to intensify. .The fury led to protests, violence in Los Angeles, threats against churches, and an arson attack in Wisconsin on a pro-life organization. And they’ve only just begun..The draft, which is not final, does not ban abortion. .It calls for individual states to be able to determine their own abortion laws..More than 63 million abortions have been performed since Roe v Wade took effect in 1973..Meanwhile, Canadian laws allow abortions for anyone female over the age of 12, paid for by the government..Since it was legalized under prime minister Pierre Trudeau in 1969, it is conservatively estimated more than four million abortions have been performed..The current Liberal government, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau steadfastly pushes to make abortion more accessible to Canadian women, with little objection raised..It isn’t known how many devout Catholic Canadian politicians, from all parties, who timidly shy away from even talking about the abortion issue partake in Holy Communion.
